UCLA’s 17th Annual Psychology Undergraduate Research Conference will be held on Friday, May 9th, 2008
from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

PURC provides undergraduates from Southern California colleges the opportunity to present and discuss their research in a professional environment. Approximately 100 students participate each year. This tradition demonstrates the UCLA Psychology Department’s continued support of undergraduate research. Two formats showcase undergraduate research endeavors: paper presentations and poster presentations.

PURC is one of the only events that involves the entire Department of Psychology. The success of this day exists due to the effort and enthusiasm of UCLA graduate students, faculty, staff, and undergraduates. This event is open to the general public. We encourage participants to invite their own guests, including their classmates, lab mates, friends, and family.

Paper Sessions

20 projects will be selected as oral presentations. Presenters will be given 10 minutes to present background, methods, results, and conclusions to a small audience. A 5-minute question and answer session will follow. Presenters are encouraged to create a PowerPoint presentation which will be displayed using a laptop and LCD projector. Each paper session includes 5 presentations and lasts for 90 minutes.

Poster Sessions


75 projects will be selected as poster presentations. Illustrative material for the poster (including title, diagrams, brief and relevant background info, methods, results and conclusions) will be limited in space to a poster board 6 feet wide by 4 feet high. Students are required to stand by their poster presentation to discuss their research during their assigned 1-hour session.
Dinner

The conference culminates with a dinner and certificate ceremony on the back patio of Franz Hall from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. This casual setting allows presenters to interact with students from other campuses, UCLA faculty, UCLA graduate students, and other PURC patrons. We require that all presenters, faculty sponsors, and volunteers RSVP in advance for this event. We are able to occasionally include additional guests when space permits.
